I'm a food and fitness-enthusiast, I do some bodybuilding in my spare time. I used to be underweight as a kid (not anorexic or anything like that, just general lack of appetite and hard to put on weight), due to not eating enough, so as soon as I picked up bodybuilding it was pretty clear to me that I had to start eating a lot more than I was at first comfortable with, as well as make some changes to my general eating habits.
Because I find food so fascinating and am always looking for new and tasty ways to improve my diet, I thought it would be a good idea to get an idea of what other gamers eat. Do you buy a lot of easy-to-prepare stuff (i.e. pizza), do you use the microwave a lot, how many warm meals do you have a day, etc.
All these questions I would like to somewhat circumvent, and instead ask you this: imagine all the food and fluid in your house has vanished. You're off the to grocery store (which has everything you need inside - a butcher, a lady selling all the nuts and seeds you could think of, a supermarket, Fruitdealer himself and so forth). What does your grocery list look like (assuming you're gonna stock your lockers and fridge because you won't be going to the store again anytime soon)?
Here is mine:
Fruits/Vegetables
- Broccoli
- Pineapple
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Avocado
- Tomatoes
- Lettuce
- Mushrooms
- Pepperbells (paprika)
- Aubergines (eggplant)
- Cucumber
Dairy/Grains
- Whole milk
- Eggs
- Cottage cheese
- 40+ cheese
- Butter
- Whole-grain bread
- Oatmeal
- Rice
Meat/Fish
- Herring
- Eel
- Tuna (canned, water - don't like the ones with oil)
- Chicken breast (only type of meat I really like)
Spices/Dressings/Oils/Sauces
- Cinnamon
- Basilica
- (black) pepper
- Curry
- Garlic
- Natural dressing
- Powdered paprika
- Olive oil
Supplements
- Whey Protein (isolate)
- Omega 3 fish-oil caps
- Multivitamin
Misc. and 'arguable food choices'
- Soup (I love all kinds of soup, especially the standard tomato soup)
- Chocolate milk
- Pizza
- Probably a few cans of energy drink
I probably forgot something, this was from the top of my head but this should do for now.
The reason I create this thread is to get a general idea of what fellow gamers and forum-goers eat, and perhaps we can get inspiration from each other's lists. I have this thread running on another forum and this guy had mushrooms in his list, which totally blew my mind because I had not eaten them in ages even though I enjoy them a lot, I simply forgot about them lol.

=( Im in college, college students don't have grocery lists.
When I'm able to go to Walmart I buy:
A few crates of water, chips, milk, and cereal.
I love your well balanced diet though. I wish I could be dedicated to my health enough to do that.
|
boneless skinless chicken breast
lentils
spinach
peas
bacon
eggs
steak
that's pretty much it
edit - missed the supplements part
chocolate whey protein mix
multivitamins
fish oil pills
|
Humus + Pita bread
Rice
Fibre one cereal
Instant Oatmeal
Milk
Root Beer
Beer
Coffee
That's about all I eat
|
Go through publix, pick up whatever looks good.
Yeah that's my list.
|
Hi, can you post your age/weight/height before and now? I am kind of underweight as well.
I pretty much eat everything you eat except the supplements, but I also eat beef, sausages, ham, yogurt, and ice cream.
|
Beer, milk, captain crunch, celery (with ranch), lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ham/turkey/roast beef, bread, mustard, assorted hot spices and sauces, bananas (green > yellow), PB+J, Clementine, tuna (albacore)
|
I try to eat somewhat healthy, but I'm not really a fitness enthusiast. That said, I go for:
Meat:
Steak, chicken, hotdogs, hamburgers, turkey sub sandwiches, bacon, beef jerky
Spices/sauces:
Ketchup, honey mustard, salt, pepper, various spices that sound tasty
Misc: Stouffurs chicken and rice, lasagna, pickles, cheerios
Veggies: Carrots, broccoli, corn
Dairy: Milk, eggs, cheese
Drinks: Water, milk
That about covers it. I'm really heavy on meat, I guess, but I do try to add in some veggies. Carrots in particular I think I eat a fair amount of. I stay away from pizza products and chips, because while tasty they're not too good for you. I think I eat moderately well.

I'm 186cm (which is just slightly above 6'1) and weigh 85kg right now (you'll have to convert that one yourself), I used to weigh 54kg at 186cm back when I was 14. I grew relatively fast, but also stopped growing when I hit 186cm. I'm 21yo right now, and have a fairly low bodyfat % (abs visible, but not 'cut' or 'ripped').

I'm in college too. When you live in an apartment rather than a dorm, it'll become important to make good food choices without spending a lot of money. organizing the grocery list then becomes a real challenge.
Meats
Bacon
Chicken Breast
Salmon/Haddock/some kind of fish filet
Tuna (canned in water)
Steak for special occasions. Nice and thick ones.
vegetables
Broccoli
Carrots (both of these fresh)
Corn
Green Beans (frozen)
Occasionally lettuce for salad
Cucumber
Do mushrooms go Here?
fruit
Bananas
Oranges
Allergic to most other fruits.
Dairy
Extra sharp cheddar cheese
whole milk (usually drink ~3 gallons/2 weeks)
Other beverages
Green Tea
Tonic Water
Lemon/Lime Juice
Occasionally a bottle of coke
misc
Eggs
Honey
Almonds
Various meat seasonings
Bleu Cheese Dressing
Chips + salsa (occasionally)
Typically I'll eat two large Hot meals that I prepare myself - something on the order of 1000 calories in a meal, in the early afternoon and late evening (2 pm eggs + baccon and 10 pm chicken + broccoli) with snacks (almonds, cheese, fruit, carrots) spread through the day in between. I don't usually eat before noon though.

This.
I just get whatever looks good while i wander around. Grocery lists are for people who plan their lives out way too much. Or people not too lazy to write up lists. ^^
|
Usual grocery list:
hot pockets x 6
2-4 assorted frozen dinners that are on sale
7 frozen breakfast meal thingies
2x4 packs of low carb monsters
3-4 2 liter bottles of diet soda (usually dr pepper if nothing is on sale, else what is on sale)
a bag of pretzel nuggets
8x 20 oz gaterades
ocassionally deli meats + bread/cheese
boxes of pasta + pasta sauce
beer (yuengling or red stripe usually)
shopping list of a champion

I buy whatever I feel like cooking in the upcoming days.

I go to the market every day or once every two days. It's just easier to live this way in Japan--Japanese products are extremely fresh and have very short shelf lives due to a lack of preservatives. Here are the foods I usually buy at the market:
Staples: Buy when I run out, often times daily
Eggs
Olive oil
Green tea
Black coffee (my guilty pleasure)
Whole milk (4.5%; depending on my diet at the time)
Fatty Proteins: Buy 1 per shopping trip
Chicken drumsticks
Ground beef
Steak
Beef shortribs
Beef boned ribs
Bacon
Pork and beef sausage
Salmon (rarely)
Tuna (rarely)
Ikura (salmon eggs; rarely)
Lean(er) Proteins: Buy 1-2 per shopping trip
Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Porkchops
Shrimp
Scallops (rarely)
Halibut
Vegetables: Buy 3-4 per shopping trip
Sweet potatoes
Onions
Spinach
Cabbage
Avocados
Tomatoes
Mixed salad
Bell peppers
Eggplant
Fruits: Buy 1 item every three days, unless I'm dieting
Apple
Orange
Banana
Strawberries (usually I go for these for the health benefits)
This is all I buy at the store, unless I'm forgetting something. My general cooking practice is to throw some olive oil in a pan, add a cut up protein, brown it, lower the heat, throw in 2-3 veggies, season everything, cover for 3-4 minutes, and eat.
|
veggies:
garlic
spinach
rucola
broccoli
cauliflower
iceberg salad
celery
red onion
meat:
ground beef (20% fat)
tuna (canned in oil)
bacon
salmon
oil / fats:
avocado oil
olive oil
coconut fat
butter
mayonnaise
pesto
That's about it. I'm on ketosis for personal reasons, and I've learned to cook delicious foods 
|
habenero tobasco + mayonaise lol.
About the only 2 things i buy frequently. I eat whatever im in the mood for.
Oh maybe tuna and noodles too.
|
I have one of those weird fast metabolisms that skinny guys get so I have to eat lots of cheap big meals. Here is some kind of layout.
Proteins
Ground beef
Eggs (my mom has a free egg suplyer so I eat a ton)
Canned Beans (Really tasty if you fry some ham in the pot and mix it all)
Chicken (if it is cheap or on sale)
Canned Tuna, Oysters or Sardines. (Bought in bulk and consumed infrequently)
Carbohydrates
Rice (usually white but I have brown in my house if I want to eat a meal that tastes terrible)
Oats(Eaten with breakfast)
Pasta (I make a lot of pasta sauce with the aforementioned ground beef)
Bread (my girlfriend buys and eats this)
Fruits and Veggies
Spinach
Kale
Yams
Potatoes
Onions
Bananas
Apples (some)
Other
Protein shakes (I make them out of orange juice, frozen blueberries, yogurt, and powder.)
Liquor
I have a stash of vanilla coke I brought back from the States
|
I like to buy a lot of different things...
Salami Pizza
Peperoni-Salami Pizza
Ham Pizza
Hawaii Pizza
Also, some Gouda and Salami to put on the Pizza.
I sometimes mix it up even further with spring rolls, french fries or spaghetti.
Dinner for one is boring

Sparing amounts of fruit juice. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you spend on food a month? I've heard that it's very cheap to eat in Korea.
I usually spend around 100,000won (use XE.com to convert it :D) It can be extremely cheap to eat here if you don't buy your fruits and veggies from the big supermarkets (or you just eat cheap crap like ramen and kimbap.) I find that it's much cheaper to go to small market stalls for my veggies/fruit. A lot of imported items are expensive, but for things like pasta sauce, dressings etc it's not hard to find a much cheaper domestically made alternative.
If you're a healthy eater then you can make a very nice meal for less than 3,000won. (Such as grilled tofu in a marinade with some steamed vegetables. Plus a yogurt and/or some fruit for dessert.)
Fast-food is more expensive, but it's still pretty cheap to get a big meal. Eating out at Korean restaurants is the cheapest option though.

I'm sad to say that mine consists exclusively of Chicken, Tuna, fiber and vitamin supplements, and protein supplements/bars. =/ I never wrote that down before, but seeing it in print makes me want to go eat spaghetti.

Jesus ... 100,000 won is around 8,000 yen; I spend more on food a week. Every month I spend something like 35,000 yen on food, which is something along the lines of 430,000 won.
My friend lives in Korea and apparently he eats out every day just because he's too lazy to cook every meal. He said that you can get a full meal for something like $4 US, or fine Italian for $15 US. When I go out for good Italian I spend $60-$100 US minimum .

Breakfast - 3 WeetBix
School - 0.5 kg of Gummi Bear, Chicken Sandwich, 2 Cereal Bars, an Apple and some Grapes.
After School - Family Chips, 1L of Soft Drink, Coffee
Dinner - Rice and Chicken
Lol, this sounds terrible! The Gummi Bear today was an exception, most of the rest is pretty normal. I'm a fairly skinny kid though, too much running.

Man you really need to cut that 1L of soft drink per day bullshit.
You're going to get diabetes no matter how much running you do.

Instead when I go to the shops I buy some soft drinks with chips or SKITTLES!!!
I LOVE SKITTLES!!!

This is my actual groceries list. I get free rice (I try to eat it only sparingly when I have to.) and filtered water from my house;
Onions.
Broccoli.
Peppers.
Carrots.
Eggplants.
Pumpkins.
Zuchinni (sp?)
Cherry tomatoes.
Celery.
Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes.

Bananas.
Grapes.

Sometimes seasonal fruits like strawberries.

Tofu. (I eat tofu pretty much every day.)
Soy milk (banana and red bean flavor.)

Canned corn.

Soy sauce.
Pasta sauce.
Soup powder.
Curry powder.
Dried herbs.
0kcal green tea.
Sparing amounts of fruit juice. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you spend on food a month? I've heard that it's very cheap to eat in Korea. I usually spend around 100,000won (use XE.com to convert it :D) It can be extremely cheap to eat here if you don't buy your fruits and veggies from the big supermarkets (or you just eat cheap crap like ramen and kimbap.) I find that it's much cheaper to go to small market stalls for my veggies/fruit. A lot of imported items are expensive, but for things like pasta sauce, dressings etc it's not hard to find a much cheaper domestically made alternative. If you're a healthy eater then you can make a very nice meal for less than 3,000won. (Such as grilled tofu in a marinade with some steamed vegetables. Plus a yogurt and/or some fruit for dessert.) Fast-food is more expensive, but it's still pretty cheap to get a big meal. Eating out at Korean restaurants is the cheapest option though. Jesus ... 100,000 won is around 8,000 yen; I spend more on food a week. Every month I spend something like 35,000 yen on food, which is something along the lines of 430,000 won. My friend lives in Korea and apparently he eats out every day just because he's too lazy to cook every meal. He said that you can get a full meal for something like $4 US, or fine Italian for $15 US. When I go out for good Italian I spend $60-$100 US minimum .
I noticed when I visited Fukuoka that Japan is way more expensive than Korea. I really like it there, but I couldn't live in Japan because all of my hobbies are based there so I'd end up as a hobo. The last two times I visited I bankrupted myself in Mandarake within 4 hours and spent the next two days eating umaibo and drinking water.

Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips and Bacon strips. And Jack Daniels.
But seriously, lucky charms, milk, peanut butter, jelly, some form of lunch meat, eggs, bread, and then whatever looks good really.

I am not usually the one who buys groceries, but usually when we run out of something I eat and its nearing dinnertime i bike over to the store and pick it up. These items include:
Pogos
Chicken Soup
Soda Crackers
Ketchup
Coca-Cola
Pepperettes
Otherwise its usually my parents that buy the foodz n stuff

I live in a house with 4 other people from uni, and we all cook together most of the time - so we tend to have pretty decent home cooked dinners - a roast about every fortnight etc.
None of us think much about the calorific etc. content of the food we make, but we all just naturally make reasonably balanced meals, probably slightly towards the fatty end of the spectrum though.
for lunch at work I tend to get something from nearby, there's a place nearby that makes really nice salads.. in fact right now I'm munching on a smoked mackrel salad. About once a week I'll go to the pub.
A weeks worth of dinners is something like:
Shepherd's pie
Sausages, random veg (carrots peas etc), onion gravy, and some form of potato - yesterday we had lyonnaise tatties.
Chilli of some kind
Roast gammon, parsley sauce, new potatoes
A stir fry/curry when we're feeling lazy
fajitas
a meal out somewhere when we go out.
Main problem is I drink too much tbh, way too much. I'd guesstimate about 10-14 pints, 1-2 bottles of wine, and some spirits (jaegerbombs or a cocktail party) a week. Also there is a significant amount of baking that happens in my house, and it's rare that a week goes by without a cake being created.
If I had to restock the whole fridge it would be something like:
Veg:
Carrots
Potatoes
peas
spinach
onions
garlic
peppers
Meat:
sausages
bacon
turkey/chicken breast
something interesting - a shoulder of lamb or something, maybe steaks.
sliced ham + salami
salmon maybe
tinned tuna
fish cakes
dairy etc.
Milk (semi skimmed)
butter
marge
eggs
Ingredients:
cake stuff
bread
cheeses - blocks of cheddar/ fairly basic cheese and then something interesting.. I just this lunch bought a 2 kg brie.
Almost forgot tea becuase it's so fundamental I can't imagine it not being there - massive box of yorkshire tea.
Then alcohol:
slab of lager
slab of cider
several bottles of wine
|
Spinach
Big ass chunk of pork from Asian butcher (They let the blood out of the pig).
Scotch fillets 2+ each time or what ever I can buy to get a bargain.
Green Chilli
Lebanese cucumbers
Coke Cola
Diced Bacon
Pasta
25Kg of rice and buy again when I run out.
Carrots
Radish
Milk
^ This is what I just bought for the week. I don't have an exact list because I buy what ever I see at the market, I'm Asian so I can stir fry all kinds of veggies ^^
Occasionally I get some cheese and caviars when I find some at a bargain but I have no idea how to integrate them so I just eat them with bread.
I HATE broccolis, they have no taste what so ever and eggplant is a no no because its a bitch to cook properly.

chicken breast
ton of vegetables
ton of fruits
lentils
kidney beans, cowbeans, chickpeas
bread

To the OP: I can't believe you mentioned nuts/needs but didn't add them to your grocery list! Well, maybe you don't like them. Packed with protein and healthy fats though!
At the moment, I don't have a job, so money is tight. I eat mostly rolled oats, eggs, spinach salads, tuna and some other stuffs.
When I have money, I usually follow John Berardi's lead, but my favourite "snack foods" are 0 sugar fruit yogurts and salted cashews!!
